418: Responsibilities of carrier, and person in charge, of commercial craft before it departs from another country to travel to New Zealand

You could also call this:

“Duties when bringing people to New Zealand by air or sea”

When section 404 of this Act starts, some things from the old law will still work in the new law. If the chief executive told a carrier or person in charge of a commercial craft something important under the old law, it will still count in the new law. The new law will use this information, but might need to change a few small things to make it fit.

If the chief executive said someone didn’t have to follow a rule in the old law, they can still not follow that rule in the new law. This will keep working until the chief executive says it doesn’t work anymore.

If there was a system that the government approved in the old law, it will still be approved in the new law. The new law will use this system, but might need to change a few small things to make it work properly.

All of these changes happen when section 404 of the new law starts working. The new law will use the old information and systems, but might need to adjust them a bit to fit in with the new rules.
